Embark on a journey of discovery on Waiheke Island, just 30 minutes from downtown Auckland, with the 3-hour EcoZip Experience. After being picked up at the ferry terminal, enjoy a Waiheke tour showcasing all the highlights – the island Lonely Planet named ‘the
playground of the gods’.
Once arriving at EcoZip HQ – located high on a hill with spectacular sea views to Auckland City – take to the skies on our unique ziplines. With dual cables each over 200m long, fly side-by-side a friend in an unforgettable shared experience.
Conservation is at the heart of our business so while you’re zipping with us you’re directly contributing to the preservation and protection of a beautiful, yet once threatened, piece of NZ rainforest. When you stroll through our forest with your guides you’ll gain a glimpse of 100% Pure New Zealand, experience our dedication to protecting it, and hear the stories of how this spectacular land has changed and adapted.
